Building our community here in El Dorado Hills

Last night we had our 2nd annual Woedee Halloween event! The part that makes me so excited about this was those two words, “2nd annual”, yep that’s right- no big deal for some but a HUGE deal for me! That means we have had more than one, that people had a great time and were willing to come back for some more!

When we took the leap to move to El Dorado Hills, California I knew it would be our last move for a while. We were ready to settle down, grow some roots and find community for our family. It started with taking a chance.  We pick a date for a block party- put flyers on every door on the street and then waited and hoped.  44 people showed up!!!  After a great time other families hosted a block party, then we had the kids Halloween event, then the Dads had a whiskey walk and before you know it- going up and down our street comes with friendly beeps, waves, saying hello, chatting at the mailboxes and of course-everyone planning the next street event!

So to see these 31 beautiful little faces smiling back at me for our 2nd annual Halloween event my heart just about exploded! Building a community takes intention and effort.  When it starts to grow though the efforts will be well worth it not only for your own family but for others as well!
